I remember this too. I wouldn't be surprised if WebStreet's management was actually the one posting those messages. At best, this type of practice is deceitful. Even if the poster was a low level employee it doesn't change the fact that investors were being misled.

Ah, Bruce, I was just getting excited about the prospect of free commissions again, this time with execution and representation speed to boot, and you come along and burst my bubble. (;-)

Are you still trading at all with Web St.?

Esteban

BTW, Thanks for the post. Helps me keep perspective.
